Podyachy

Podyachy

A Podyachy or podyachiy ( _ru. подьячий, sometimes подъячий; from the Greek "hypodiakonos," "assistant servant") was an office (bureaucratic) occupation in "prikazes" (local and upper governmental offices) and lesser local offices of Russia in 15th-18th centuries.

As an anachronism, it may be loosely translated as clerk the Latin word equally derived from a clerical title, and generically used.

"Podyachyes" were classified into junior, middle and senior. A senior "podyachy" (Старший подьячий) was a councillor to a "dyak".
